Pub Note:

Atlas der wereld, by Jan Barend Elwe; published in Amsterdam, 1792. Title translates to: Atlas of the world. Bound in contemporary half-calf over marbled paper boards. With gilt ornamentation and title on spine. Collation - Folio: 22 pages, 40 leaves of plates. Comprised of letterpress text, an engraved title page, 37 maps, one timeline and one table of distances for Europe. Geographic coverage includes Europe, Russia, the Middle East, the Holy Land, East and Southeast Asia, Africa, North America and South America. Maps show continents, countries, regions, cities, churches, railways, topography, deserts, bodies of water, drainage, coastlines, islands and routes of exploration. With pictorial vignettes of figures, fauna and flora. This historical atlas in which Elwe re-issued maps by De L’Isle, Ottens, Jaillot, and other 17th-century cartographers continued the 17th-century Franco-Dutch mapmaking tradition long after it had been eclipsed by the 18th-century English mapmakers. The work is an intriguing bookend on a cartographic tradition - “the golden age of cartography” - that shaped much of the modern world.
